CBS is helping the father mount a vigorous defense for his son, who just killed five innocent people. THAT is the story here. Now that we've met the father, the son, and the holy ghost (oops I mean the killer), do ya think we might actually meet the actual ghosts?? I realize that they are non-people, and so don't count (/sarcasm). But I suspect they mean something to someone. This is disgusting trailer-trash journalism: the sort CBS and other outlets thrive on.

Don't get me wrong: the guy may very well have been driven mad by multiple postings and a concerted effort to marginalize him by the top brass. But under no circumstances would I be listening to the killer's FATHER for that opinion, except as comic relief. There's a time and place for that determination. This trash journalism just muddies the waters we're supposed to peer through for the truth.

Let the grieving widows and children vent their spleen at the killer next. That should help clear up matters considerably (/sarcasm).

Well, what do you expect when corporations are demanding the government start these wars for profit using our tax money and sacrificing our young. And then they claim it is for "defense". Don't make me laugh. What is sad is that people buy into this propaganda.

How sad that you are right on the money with your comment.

Even worse is that the ex-president of the United States is the number one cheerleader, propaganda artist, and con-man for the endless war for endless profit schemes. Ie, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling, WMD WMD WMD.

War is old men lying and getting rich, and young men suckered into dying for bloodmoney nonsense scams.

Hey dad, your son murdered five innocent people. Stop trying to make excuses for your son's inexcusable and criminal actions.

Yeah - says the doughy blogger from his comfy reclining chair behind the anonymity of his computer. Why don't you pull 36 months of combat among a hostile populace in a foreign land watching your buddies get blown to bits, then spout off sanctimoneously.

The military breaks everyone. It's called basic training. Given the nuts running the military show, I have no reason to doubt that they drove this guy mad.

Their bodies aren't even cold yet, and CBS is helping the killers family play the blame game?? When did we start jumping over grief and straight into mudslinging?

The bodies are cold. Oh, that was a metaphor...sorry. Did you mean,"killer" 's? Or are you implying that there was more than one shooter?

And there is no,"blame game", this 20 Veteren snapped.

If you think this is a blame game, or that there is no story here, you're blind.

Reminds me of Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket.

Yeah, except Pyle was in boot camp, and this guy was a 20 veteren sarge who was in his third tour of duty in Iraq.

Other than that, it's exactly the same...
